2590 Corralitas

Tucked away on a cul-de-sac on the eastern side of Silver Lake, 2590 Corralitas was once the personal residence of Los Feliz-based architect Linda Kleine, AIA. Built by the architect in 2005 — this tri-level 3 bedroom, 2 bath open floor plan home in 1,808 square feet — is bathed in natural light and merges cool minimalism with warm organic touches.

Combining liberal use of sustainably forested North American Maple hardwood flooring and locally-sourced concrete masonry, the home is also expertly eco-green with dual-pane windows, high-efficiency appliances, a tankless water heater, drought-tolerant plants, and a South-facing roof with the potential for solar energy.

Floating, open metal stairs lead to the loft-style master suite, which occupies the third level and provides clerestory views of numerous post-and-beam homes throughout the neighborhood.

The master bathroom receives natural limestone/travertine counters with a separate shower and bath.

Two bedrooms are located on the first floor below the living area and share a second bathroom. But, more importantly, open to the seamless balcony outside — which provides access to the yard below. For nature lovers, the home is adjacent to the Corralitas Red Car property (which, fingers crossed, may become future open park space!)

The galley kitchen, located off the living room, features deep burgundy counter tops, plenty of cabinet space along with an elevated breakfast nook, perfect for early morning reading.

My favorite feature of the home: the large second floor balcony that sits just along the tree line, facing West. Stare out at other architecturally significant homes cantilevered on Silver Ridge, entertain guests, or just quietly take in those perfect Silver Lake treetop sunsets.

The home is priced at $825,000. For additional information, or to schedule a showing, please call Jovelle Schaffer at (213) 718-1110.
